Booking
I found this sailing attractive because it fit the timeframe I was looking for with it being a six-day cruise in December that leaves on Monday and gets back on Sunday. That means I don’t have to worry about whether or not they show a Saints game on the…

Good morning! My room is a connecting one and I had some loud neighbors at 4am. I was getting up at 4:45 so I just got up at 4:30.
I have an early flight out of LAX so I picked a couple of Voodoo Doughnuts yesterday. This is a homer…

We have another short…

My trip to Ensenada was just to satisfy the rule about making a foreign port call on my Hawaiian cruise. Because of that we didn’t have a very long port day.
There weren’t many tour options. I went with the World Famous Blow Hole tour which was $50 through Carnival….

Good morning. Today is our last sea day before we reach Ensenada. One thing about this room location. It hasn’t been much of a problem but one day I could hear a bunch of workers laughing and talking like echoing under the floor. Now I hear someone whistling. The…
